Need More HorsePower ?

Helleo Eveyone. What else besides Headers, Pulleys, Cat Back Exahast, Throttle Body and K&N Filters will give me more horsepower. Oh one more thing do these items have to be for my exact engine cause my engine is a LB9. Cause I look on the superchevy magaizens most of these parts are for the 4th genration camaro will these parts fit on my 3rd genration camaro or will they have to order it to get it exact my engine size.

most of the 4th gen stuff will not fit the third gens. get a throttle body airfoil, and have your heads ported and polished. add some 1.6 ratio roller rockers.

Dont worry about getting a larger Throttle Body. The Sock one is large enough for the 305, just buy one of those airfoils. Sounds kind of stupid, but i felt a difference after putting mine in. Easiest mod ive done. But to get real power out of the LB9 you will have to change out the cam, and get new heads (world makes some great ones for the 305) or get your heads ported and rebuilt.
Its nice to see someone else interested in getting some power out of the LB9
peace

Just got done installing the S/R Torquer's and a LPE216 cam and my Z accelerates like there is no tommorrow. I just can't wait 'til I port my intake and upgrade the rear to 3.42's or even 3.73's.
